Relating to or characterized by descension; describing something that moves downward or relates to theological concepts of descent.
From descension + -al suffix. Created to modify nouns in theological, scientific, and philosophical discourse about downward movement.
This adjective lets theologians and philosophers discuss descent as an abstract concept—'descensional theology' as a field of study sounds much more rigorous than just saying 'theories about going down.'
